Default Woodturning, is it off topic here?


Hi Tom, Yep, woodturning _is off topic here and I'm the worst perp!

I suspect that Lutefisk is like several other ethnic 'survival' foods
that are more in the talking than in the eating. We Scots honor 'The
Haggis' in song and story, but oatmeal and entrails boiled in a sheep's
stomach is for ceremoniously bringing to table with squealing pipes and
rolling drums. With apologies to Bobby Burns, it is mercifully removed
quickly so as not to interfere with our steaks.

Same for Redneck 'prime ribs' (aka sow belly garnished with chitlins)
and many other foods that kept folks alive during hard times and now are
honored, but never eaten. Judging by the economy, we might come to
depending on them again.


Turn to Safety, Arch
Fortiter
